Hi guys. This thread is basically discussing which manufacturers have lost their significance in recent years, as the title implies. This basically means manufacturers who haven't sold many rides in recent years (I'd probably call this since 2012). I'll start by naming 2 that I can think of off the top of my head:
- Maurer - They have only sold 4 coasters outside of obscure parks in Asia and Eastern Europe in the last 5 years. Admittedly, Happy Valley aren't particularly obscure, but there are too many of them for me to keep track! Also, I do remember Maurer nearly going bankrupt about a year or two ago.
- Premier Rides - To my knowledge, they have literally only sold Sky Rocket IIs and a coaster in Qatar in the last 5 years. So it's essentially Sky Rocket IIs keeping them afloat. EDIT: @Alastair has reminded me that they also built Full Throttle in 2013.
